    Right, because the smoking bans that we currently have put in place were done so "because of the kids"

    you're right. Drops my IQ does the more I read one of your screaming posts.

    LOUD NOISES
    So we agree. Your IQ is low.

    I think imposing the smoking ban on adult establishments is wrong. If you see a "this is a smoking establishment" sign and you don't like then you don't go in. Very simple.

    And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

    There is one that says Smoker's Welcome in north Travis county (not a typo).

    Pretty much reflects the clientele.

    Whatever makes you feel better. If you think bullying people and demanding that they conform to your preference is intelligent then so be it. You already think you're god enough to control other grown adults and this method of leadership has proven to require very few IQ points to begin with.

    You truely are the of what this country offers. You demand that others be a slave to your principles regardless of the laws that are in place to protect us from people like you.

    I'm attempting to defend the laws that have already been in place. I'm also attempting to compromise some of those rights to benefit others. These laws that already exist aren't my opinions but the opinions of the people who created this country to protect its citizens.

    Your opinion is in direct conflict with those very laws and YOU DON'T GIVE A ING ABOUT IT BECAUSE YOUR ING SELFISH ASS WANTS IT HIS WAY. YOU'RE A DISGRACE TO YOUR COUNTRY.

    I'll wait here for you tell me that its my opinion and how I'm trying to control you and blah blah blah that you continue to vomit.

    Then I'll point out how I said it was not my opinion but the opinion of the Cons ution that was laid out to protect us.

    Then you'll say

    yeah yeah I can just open my own business :

    then I'll say

    thats right moron you can but you prefer to play god over people and your very own cons ution.

    then my ing chode will explode again

    Here's why I don't particularly have a problem with this...smoking is an activity that is inherently unhealthy, and dangerous. It puts those who smoke at risk, as well as those around them at risk. It cannot be made healthy.

    While I don't propose that we making smoking an illegal activity, I think it is in society's best interest to at least discourage the activity, and make societal accommodations for the HEALTHY alternative (not smoking), as oppossed to making societal accommodations for the UNHEALTHY alternative (smoking).

    To me, it makes sense to ban or limit smoking in any place that is open to the public. Bars and pool halls are generally open to the public. If you want to have a private smoking club, be my guest. But if your establishment is open to the public, it is in the government's best interest to keep that public (whether they want to or not) in an environment that is least threatening to their health.

    Additionally, smoking (to the non-smoking public) is considered by most to be a nuisance, and laws govern nuisances all the time (noise ordinances, landscaping ordinances, public decency laws, etc...).

    quick: What right has government taken away from you that you wish you could have back
    The right to refuse illegal search and seizure in the form of taking my blood during a sobriety check point.

    I don't drink and drive. I'd like if I was stopped to legally refuse a breath test then contact my attorney without having my blood drawn by force.

    -------

    The right to not have my wages taxed. Because my wage is compensation for my labor not a gain or form of profit.

    -------

    The right to privacy. The right to not have my phone illegally tapped without cause.

    -------

    The right to grow and cultivate hemp. Which is only illegal because they wanted to strip the ability of blacks to have something they enjoyed. This drug was legal many years back and is currently legal in the MAJORITY of the planet. Including some of our very own states for medical purposes.


    I could probably come up with a few more.

    no you see all those ordinances go against all that our country stands on.

    If I want my grass to grow higher than 4 feet tall, then it's my property and who the is the government that they can tell me otherwise.

    "yeah yeah I could just open my own smoke free business".

    You've said it quite a few times here

    also

    "but but smoking is your preference....".

    so this happened to you?

    if you arent over the limit to begin with, then why are you refusing a breathalyzer?

    wow

    The right to privacy. The right to not have my phone illegally tapped without cause.
    and this has happened to you?

    The right to grow and cultivate hemp. Which is only illegal because they wanted to strip the ability of blacks to have something they enjoyed. This drug was legal many years back and is currently legal in the MAJORITY of the planet. Including some of our very own states for medical purposes.
    I'll give you this one, but I think the government bit by bit is giving in ie California.

    I see your point but doing such and yes I know they're already doing it violates the rights of the business owner to allow a legal activity at his private bar thats open to the public.

    You're point has all the credence in the world if smoking and cigarettes are illegal.

    Its a violations of the private business owners right to dictate how he runs his establishment pertaining to a perfectly legal substance.

    Especially if its an adults only place.


    Don't mistake open to the public for public property. Its still private property. Smoking is legal. You have no right to tell him how to run his private business with a legal substance.

    Cokes are bad we should make it where you can't have coke anywhere but your own home because the government should promote a healthier dining experience. Silly because as an adult you should be able to choose for yourself if you want to consume something thats legal. Illegally is obviously a different story.

    Blake don't ing come in and tell me that coke and smoke aren't the same because my smoke can affect you. All you have to do is not enter the ing bar. Its not forced on you.

    I'm advocating a forced albeit uncons utional environment where minors wouldn't have no choice of exposure.

    Which is what 99% of your public.

    I'm still waiting for all the valid studies that show more than a weak, statistically insignificant link between SHS and lung cancer/heart disease, Blake. Oh, and how the name of a website discredits any facts/studies included on it.

    Question: If I'm to stop citing studies funded by big tobacco, then wouldn't it be proper for you not to cite studies/research funded by big pharma? In particular the ones that produce smoking cessation products, which coincidentally funded the research on one of your earlier links.

    Thanks for allowing me to "see" who funds these studies.

    Its happened to many. Wake up.




    if you arent over the limit to begin with, then why are you refusing a breathalyzer?


    I have a right to protect myself from self incrimination regardless of my actual sobriety.




    wow



    and this has happened to you?

    Its happened to few dozen since the counties have inacted it. Many cases have been tossed as being uncons utional but the damage was done. Needles were inserted into peoples bodies without their conscent.



    I'll give you this one, but I think the government bit by bit is giving in ie California.


    We can only hope.
